VIDEO Suggestion: NUC6i7KYK Skull Canyon as a Gaming/Content Creator solution

Note: If this was posted in the wrong section, I apologise and request it be moved to the right one.

 

For @LinusTech & @nicklmg

 

Like the title says... if you can get access to a NUC6i7KYK Skull Canyon NUC. Give it a go in terms of Gaming (both using Iris Pro iGPU and possibly using a Razor Core (again if feasable)) and Content Creation capabilities (for like on the fly at events and such). :)

 

Really interested in seeing your view on it... :)

We've requested a sample of the Skull Canyon NUC. I think Linus also has a Core on the way, so you never know!

Sweet ass!

I'm pretty excited for this. Could be possible one of the most compact gaming solutions ever.

Until colorful gets their 1070 on a motherboard and makes it smaller.
